Francesca's apartment is clean, comfortable and in a fantastic location. Francesca offered plenty of advice about what to see and do in Rome, and was the perfect host. Would happily stay here again when next in Rome.

The apt was exactly how pictured in the photos and Francesca has a wonderful binder full of information for seeing the city including restaurant recommendations for every neighborhood! The kitchen is even stocked with coffee and teas and other little items and mini fridge w water and a mini bottle of champagne! Bathroom stocked with extra toiletries and one would need, she really is an excellent and lovely host. There are many maps of the city available for use on a shelf and we added to the pile a pamphlet of tours from Rome to surrounding sites for future guests. The airconditioning works very well which was appreciated bc it was very hot in Rome when we stayed. Also Francesca was very accommodating on our arrival as we were coming from a connecting trip from Poland in a Sunday and by the time we made our way from airport by taxi to the apt we were an hour late but she was there within minutes of our arrival to our relief.

Our stay was better than we had even hoped! The location is fantastic, the apartment is cute and Francesca was wonderful! Not only is the apartment near so many of the sites of the city, it is in the central of a foodie wonderland. We highly recommend this for anyone traveling to Rome!
